A couple of weekends ago I had a shoot with Alexandra, it had been a while ago since we had met up in Amsterdam and this time we went to the pretty city of Utrecht! You know when I first started doing more outfit posts I shot a lot of my outfits in Utrecht together with Wendy, Britt and sometimes with Nathalie as well. Time flies when you are having fun I guess 😉

Anyways, I will not bother you too much with my talks. Let me just tell you a bit about the outfit and show you the pictures!

This outfit is an outfit with a little background story. Not just stripes, dots and cats but a little more. I actually wore this exact outfit once on a job interview and at first I felt so uncomfortable wearing sneakers.. However while I was travelling towards the interview I started to think it was what made this outfit more me. A fun little twist. So while I carried a pair of stylish flats, I decided to keep wearing the sneakers with the cat-printed Happy Socks. In the end the sneakers with the fun socks gave my outfit a funky and fun twist that made me feel more comfortable and somehow a bit more me 🙂

In the look I am wearing: Shawl by IMYF* (which is even prettier when you unfold it so you can see the burning man photography print on it!), necklace from Maison Scotch, striped top from H&M, Gucci belt, dotted chino’s from Zara, bag bought at Urban Outfitters, cat-printed Happy Socks* and my Adidas sneakers.

Today I want to talk a little bit about what it is like to be a High Sensitive Person (HSP). For months I was in doubt wether I should blog about this or not… At some point high sensitivity seemed to be a hype and it felt wrong to jump onto the so called hype train. I did not really seem genuine to me. I saw multiple blogposts where people where talking about being a high sensitive person and I will not second guess if they are – as I think it’s not a psychological disorder or anything, it’s more a personality type – but it felt wrong to share my blog at the same time.

But now that I feel the ‘hype’ is a little bit over, and I am feeling more comfortable in my own skin, I feel like I can finally write about this and tell you a little bit about my experience.

Let me tell you this before reading on; for me it’s both a blessing and a curse to be a high sensitive person…

For almost two months I left my blog and put it aside for a bit. Not because I wanted, but I just did not feel like blogging. Hell I don’t even know why I always keep explaining this, am I trying to look for excuses? Am I making apologies? I don’t know. Fact is, I want to do this right and I want to do more with my blog, make more out of it. Making my writing / blogging and social media management a business, but I just do not exactly know how or where to start….

This probably is an issue that more people have, right? You know what my biggest problem is? Basically I have all these ideas, and I like to plan them and start working on things, but I tend to get bored quickly and than I lose focus and enthusiasm… I think. Yup… SHIT. More about this struggle in another blogpost 😉

The outfit

Well, back to the more fun stuff! Today I am sharing one of my latest favorite outfits with you all and I will finally show you all the piercing I got about two and a half months ago!
By the way I am so happy with my Gucci belt, it was expensive AF, but so worth it after saving up for it for about half a year!

A couple of weeks ago I got a package from Captain Tan & Marc Inbane, this gift box with the Marc Inbane Natural Tanning spray and the luxurious black tanning mitt. I already tried out the spray for three times now and to be honest I was a bit scared. I am not a pro when it comes to self tanning as you might remember from this article where I reviewed the St Tropez starter kit 🙂

So to be honest, the first try was not really a success, whoops. One of my legs was darker than the other one haha. Second try was much better! And now the third try is pretty perfect. Time for a little review!

Today I want to share one of my favourite business casual outfits with you! I’m currently very busy with job-hunting and figuring out how I can really kick start my own business and projects so business casual is the style I am wearing the most lately.

So when I while ago I found the perfect blazer, yep you read that right; THÉ PER-FECT BLAZER(!!) I just had to have it! I have multiple blazers in my closet but never did I find a blazer that is made of quality fabric and fits good as well. But here it was, my new Scotch and Soda blazer. It’s blue with a colourful lining and never have I tried on a blazer that fitted so well at the shoulders, buste and the waist. Happy me!

And of course I just had to share this blazer with you all! So here it is, in one of my favourite business casual outfits at the moment 🙂 I am wearing: Scotch and Soda blazer (duh), H&M striped knit, H&M kick flare jeans, Adidas Stan Smith’s and my brown Michael Kors bag.

What do you think of this look and what would be your go to business casual outfit? Let me know in the comments!
